Description
What it is
The RV097GS 6Pins is a dual 10kΩ potentiometer with an integrated switch. It is an electronic component that allows the resistance value in a circuit to be varied, controlling the flow of current.
Features
- 2 dual 10kΩ potentiometers (B10K)
- 6 pins
- Integrated switch
What it is for
RV097GS potentiometers are ideal for electronic prototyping and analog control. They can be used to adjust analog variables such as volume, light intensity, signal gain, etc. They are compatible with Arduino and other microcontrollers.

The RV097GS 6Pins potentiometer is perfect for controlling analog variables, such as volume or light intensity, in Arduino projects.
What you need
- Arduino or compatible
- Multimeter
- Soldering iron
- Connection cable
Steps
- 1. Check the specifications on the datasheet.
- 2. Connect the potentiometer to the Arduino: GND to GND, VCC to 5V, 3 pin to A0.
- 3. Connect the switch to the Arduino: VCC to 5V, GND to GND, 5 pin to a digital input pin.
- 4. Check the potentiometer’s resistance on the datasheet.
- 5. Load the source code.
- 6. Hook up the switch to monitor its state.
- 7. Test the resistance between the potentiometer pins with a multimeter.
- 8. Verify the potentiometer’s function with a simple sketch.
Example code
```int potPin = A0; int val; void setup() {} void loop() { val = analogRead(potPin); Serial.println(val); delay(100); } ```
